NaSTA
The National Student Television Association
YSTV has had a long and productive history as a key player in NaSTA. We have hosted or co-hosted the annual Conference and Awards Ceremony three times in the last 10 years (1997, 2002 and 2006). We've been "Highly Commended" in the Best Broadcaster award three times (2002, 2005 and 2006) and even joinly won it in 1998. We have also managed to bring back at least one award every year since 2001. For more information see the [NaSTA Website].
